Phillip Putlitz says he received two of this kind of call from someone claiming to be the CRA on Friday and decided to “turn the tables."

“They called twice, I called 76 times,” Putlitz told KelownaNow.

He says he started by asking 15 different callers where some well-known Canadian cities are located and the names of Canadian premiers. His last call, however, took an interesting turn.

“I started talking to one guy, out of 15 men and women who were clearly aware of what they were doing, and he let me into some of the world of call scams by pointing out the one caller can make between $20-50,000 [a month]” Putlitz said, adding that he believes this is in Albanian currency ($20,000 equals $231 CDN).

The man begins by telling Putlitz that he didn’t make as much money that day because of his numerous calls. The scammer uses familiar tactics from previous scams, including threatening jail time if the fee isn't paid.

Putlitz continues to ask the scammer various questions about the operation. Watch the video below for a recording of the full call.
